Hope We Can Go On Vacation Without Busting The Budget

It is now February, and a group of us are starting to think about planning a vacation this summer. We thought about Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, or Toronto, but ruled them out because we need to drive. We put on our thinking caps again and came up with Orlando. Sounded fun, we thought. We can drive, and many of us have never been there before.

So how to go on this journey without breaking the wallet? We can all share in the driving and cost of gas, which helps greatly. We also agree on watching the food budget and only eating at nice restaurants once in a while. We are worried about hotel costs though. One of our group wants to stay at one of the Sea World Hotels, and she thinks that we can get a package that will save on some costs. That might be more fun than staying somewhere out far just to get a cheaper rate and then driving back and forth all the time. We might also be able to find some coupons on restaurants and attractions in the area, and that would be great.

As soon as we make our Orlando hotel reservation, we will need to call AAA and get a trip pac, Onward ho to see Mickey!

A Super Bowl Party Is Nothing Without Good Wings

Guest post written by Allen King

I remember a few years ago I went to a Super Bowl party at a friend's house who was trying to eat really healthy. I understood it because he needed to make some eating changes for his health, but I wish I had known that they were going to be serving things like carrots and hummus. That stuff is okay, just not when I'm watching the Super Bowl! So when I volunteered to host our friends' party at my place, I decided to make sure that I had some healthy food, but also the traditional Super Bowl foods.
I looked online to see if I could find some good recipes for some really spicy buffalo wings. When I was searching for a recipe, I saw the websitedebtcounseling.bankrupt.com. I read through it some and decided that I need to come back to it later because our family is in debt and we need to consult our options.
I did track down a really good bufalo chicken wings recipe and it got the approval from me and then by all of my guests too. The Super Bowl is about as good of a reason to eat bad food as Thanksgiving.
